I am sorry but does anyone else see the irony in preaching about a God who loves us and indeed created us, but yet says we ALL deserve to die, then proceeds to produce random tragedies to bully us into “submitting” to his authority????

Thanks for your comment Kristy. It is strangely similar to the one you left at another post about John Piper's views on the bridge collapse.

I think that God loves us even though we have turned our backs on Him over and over again. I don't think anything that God does is random. God uses the suffering and tragedy in the world as a "megaphone to rouse a deaf world."
